Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Trichloroethene (trichloroethylene) with Water.

Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Trichloroethene (trichloroethylene); C2HCl3; [79-01-6]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Carlisle,P.J.; Levine, A.A., Ind. Eng. Chem. 24, 1164 (1932).

Variables:
   Temperature = Temperature

Prepared By:
   A. L. Horvath

Experimental Remarks:

   The results of the solubility determination were presented in graphical form only.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The water content was found by determining the temperature where tichloroethene was saturated with water, that is, determining the cloud point. The relationship between the cloud point and the percentage moisture in the saturated sample provided  the solubility values as a function of temperature.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled.
   (2) Factory grade, first dried and followed by fractional distillation.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 0.2 K.
